Aw, so sorry to hear that. Yes, we had hail. 20 minutes. Marble-size. Guy coming tomorrow to check roof but I think everything is A OK. Lots of leaves from all our trees on the ground. Weird weather.

We are having SUCH a weird summer here in Montana...don't think we have even gotten past upper 70's and terrible rain and thunderstorms every single day.
I am thinking weird summer is wide spread.
(hopefully that's a good emoji. I don't have my glasses on and can't see)

Made a soap this afternoon with colors inspired by an ad I got on my Facebook feed one day. Scented in patchouli with benzoin resin for a vanilla-ish note (didn't want to have any discoloration from the FOs I have). I'm happy with it! Did a wall pour tiger stripe, and I'm really excited to see the cut tomorrow

I read that our farmers could not get their corn planted because the ground was mud. Kinda terrifying.

Wow, I read you can brush your teeth with soap. I didn't know such a thing was possible so I did it. Yes, I brushed my teeth with my castile soap. It had no taste. Of course, I going to do more research but I really like the thought of it. Yes, I already read the post about it in the forum, just in case anyone was wondering.

Any other HP soap makers sweating to death while they soap?

Too True. I live next door to the bar the people in my tiny town watch the games at. Im only 6 miles from the river and the border to my Home State. You couldnt pay me enough to make a green and gold soap.

This looks lovely! I was looking at benzoin resin the other day - how does one soap with it?

Yes! As a matter of fact, when tooth soap was all the rage several years ago, soapers with periodontal disease reported that they didn't need to see the dentist as often. I still brush with my homemade foamer soap. Of course, that's not the same as a proper "tooth soap", but it works for me.

Add it just like any other FO/EO! I used it at 1% and then patchouli at 2%. I really like the scent it created - not super vanilla-like as you would expect from true vanilla, but a nice deep resinous note that mixes really well with the patchouli. Mine is thick but pourable, and if it got cold you could warm it in a glass of warm water before using it.

Here's the cut of That 70s Soap!!

LOVE!! Colours are beautiful!
But - my resin comes in little chunks so do i melt it or something?

My new little fat heart moulds are CPOPping in the oven as we speak - yummy fragrance called 'Kowhai' which is a flower native to NZ. It doesn't smell like kowhai though - here's the description:
Kowhai Fragrance Oil Notes
Top Notes: Orange zest, lemongrass, citron
Mid Notes: Neroli, cinnamon leaf, ylang ylang
Dry Notes: Sandal, amber, white cedar, patchouli

I know two couples in mn that actually make outfits for their kids that are half the right team and half the wrong team I am not a big football fan so it doesn't bother me but it does other people haha

I tipped out my molds and have my soap in a curing box now. I put the excess into a small mold to make, "tastes" of the soap, so my customers can try out a new soap.
